OPN2002/3 batch demo application
(Version RFG35415)
The batch demo application for the OPN2002/3 demonstrates its capabilities to store
barcode data in a file and retrieve this file onto a local PC. The files can either by retrieved
by using the OPN2002/3 as USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) or can be received using the
NetO protocol by using USB-VCP and/or the CRD2000 multi cradle.
Since the OPN2002/3 terminals don't have a display to show any instructions this demo
application implements a user interface that consists entirely of using just the 2 keys to
scan barcodes. This brief setup guide describes all features as well as handling instructions.
More product details, additional support and more configuration options to customize this
application to your own preferences (by using the Universal menu book) will be updated at
www.opticon.com
1 Capabilities of the Batch demo application
The following features are currently supported:
Scans and stores barcodes into a database file on the internal RAM disk.
Retrieve the barcode data file on a local PC or laptop using the NetO protocol by
either USB-VCP or the CRD2000 multi cradle.
*new* Use the OPN200/3 as USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) to retrieve the
barcode data file.
OSE Universal menu book support to configure all barcode decoders, pre- and
suffixes, read modes and various other options.
Storing of configurations in non-volatile memory to allow all settings to be
restored after a reset.
Configurable output format of the database file
Easy software upgrading by USB -VCP or the CRD-2000 multi cradle (RS232) using
Appload.

  • Page 5: Scanning Bar Codes

    4 Barcode database file All scanned unique barcodes are stored in a database file with fixed length records. Besides the barcode data, the quantity, serial number of the OPN2002/3 and a date/time stamp can be stored. The default format of each record in the database file is: <Barcode (40 chrs)>,<Quantity (6 chrs)>,<serial #>,<hh:mm:ss>,<dd/mm/yyyy>...
  • Page 6 If a barcode is scanned using the delete key that isn't present in the database or that already has a quantity of '0' a low error beep is sound and a red led is shown. Negative quantities are by default not supported, but when using the 'Negative quantities' option (see Appendix A) it is possible to scan negative quantities of barcodes.

  • Page 7: Installing Drivers

    USB-VCP driver for Windows XP (64bit) & Windows Vista/7 (64bit) USB driver for the CRD2002 After installing the USB driver, you can connect your OPN2002 or OPN2003 to USB using the mini-USB cable. Windows will then automatically install a virtual COM port on your PC, which can be selected in various applications, like Appload, Hyperterminal and Neto32.
  • Page 8 Due to the limited amount of (RAM) memory inside the OPN2002/3 the size of the file system is rather small, being about 125kB on the OPN2003 and about 900kB on the OPN2002. This is enough space for storing barcodes, but not for using the OPN2002/3 as a portable hard drive.
  • Page 9 9.2 Using the CRD2000 When using the CRD2000 multicradle certain configurations have to be made to correctly synchronize multiple OPN2002s that all want to transfer a file to the host at the same time. First of all, the RS232 settings have to be correctly configured, so besides selecting the correct COM-port of the CRD2000, you will also have to select the correct baud rate and other RS232 settings.

    The 6-digit serial numbers of all your OPN2002s will have to added at 'Tools > Options > Polling and Timing > Terminals to Poll'. Screenshot of Polling and Timing settings with a list of OPN2002 serial numbers When using the CRD200, don't configure a Poll Speed faster than 0,5s because once an OPN2002 is communicating to the host, the other OPN2002s will be temporarily muted for 250ms by the CRD2000 to avoid data collisions.
  • Page 11 RFG* OPN2003 RFF* * It is often possible to load OPN2002 applications on the OPN2003 and vice versa, because the hardware is mostly the same (besides Bluetooth capabilities and cradle contacts that are only present on the OPN2002). 10.2 Loading software using the mini-USB cable To be able to load software on the OPN200x using the mini USB cable first make sure you’ve selected the USB-VCP interface (see chapter 3.1), because USB-MSD is not yet...

Software V3510x: OPN2001 simulation demo application This application turns the OPN2002 into an OPN2001 compatible batch scanner. Besides USB, any stored barcode data can also be retrieved from the OPN2002 by using Bluetooth.

  • Page 15: Troubleshooting

    12 Trouble shooting Since the OPN200x doesn't have a display, it also doesn't have a system menu to resort to when you've installed a crashing application that prevents you from loading new software on the OPN200x. For this reason the OPN200x has a few escape mechanisms to allow you to restart, halt your application and/or install new software.

    Appendix A: Database output formatting The default output format of each record in the database file is: <Barcode (40 chrs)>,<Quantity (6 chrs)>,<serial #>,<hh:mm:ss>,<dd/mm/yyyy> However, this application allows you to customize this format to make it suitable for your own application. The following aspects of the output format are configurable.
  • Page 18 Each record can contain up to 5 fields (barcode, date, time, quantity and serial number). The output sequence can be customized by reading up to 5 labels on the following page.
